ABC thoughts
With news of the new ABC warriors game coming I thought I'd dust off my old foundry minis. With the volgan war I wS hoping for so e human troops like the ones from some of the older stories but that kooks unlikely. Hammerstein was a prototype fighting alongside humans until they mass produced the guys we see in the core box. They seem to be concentrating on more modern versions of the stories. With slaine I was hoping for cythrons but I doubt we will see anymore. My hope with the warriors is that it could lead to nemesis the warlock which 40k borrowed a lot from. Personally I'd like Bad Company in miniature form.
The Horned God
This old foundry mini was sent to me by accident a few years ago when I ordered the ABC warriors. Foundry corrected the order and let me keep slaine. I had no use for it until the new game was released so I got my brother to paint him. He usually paints busts and larger models and takes more time on these things than I do 
Won in two turns
A game of strontium dog which pitted Johnny and wulf with a couple of helpers vs the stix and kreelers. All the stronty dogs had to do was knock the enemy to half their numbers. By turn three some militia reinforcements would arrive. Alpha and friends got to start very close to their prey but one of the stix came on behind the bounty hunters
One of the kreelers exchanges fire with blubber lips who despite having no evade managed to avoid all shots flung his way. 
Alpha rushes forward and tosses a gas bomb at the kreelers officer but it puts him out in the open. A stix tossers a time trap grenade which lands on rarget. Alpha is immediately sent back in time a few seconds and caught in a time loop. This lucky armoury card put alpha out of the game on turn one. 
Wulf was too far away to save his friend so he rushes in and knocks out a kreelers with his electronux. One of the stix is als assaulted but manages to evade and break away while popping off shots at the nose man. 
By turn two the gronk attempts to heal wulf but under fire from two stix brothers wulf goes down and its the stronty dogs who loose half their force and fail. A quick game with dome awful dice rolls and some lucky card users. Reinforcements for slaine
I went for a more green cour for my fomorian championships so they stand out from the lesser warriors 
Painted up
Unusual for me to paint things so bright and poppy but it is for a comic book game. As all the minis are a colladerscope of colour I thought I'd make each building distinct. 
Stronty dog buildings
I need some scenery for strontium dog to represent a backwater settlement to fight over. This collection of Adobe buildings was £20 from TT combat. They are a good base to work on to Sci fi up. I'm going to use three for my Martian adventures but the rest will be good for stargrave. Legion and my 2000AD 
I've ransacked spare kits and added some bits
Strontium dog allies
I've done some rebasing of the core minis
I'm using stargrave minis to represent the allies you can use in campaign scenarios. They will be a bit smaller in scale but as cannon fodder they work OK. 
The lists of outlaws, aliens and goons. 
Alien slavers
Outlaws and goons
Militia 
Mutant wasters. I've tried to use some poppy comic book colours Antique fair find
While away for the weekend I spotted this board game at an antique fair for a tenner. Games workshop 1982 board game by Ian Livingstone. Bargain. I looked on eBay and it goes for stupid prices. Back in the day when GW made games 
All done
That's all the current range completed. Along with dredd and stronty dog I've chucked the boxes because I think they're a bit flimsy for holding lots of minisSkull swords and a game
I got three games in from the scenario booklet. By the third scenario I think we got the hang of it. Lot of skullswords died. We didn't think it too many. 
Thoughts on terrain
I have had a look at what I have that would make good mega city one terrain. I find it hard to source something that looks right as most skirmish Sci - fi looks fit only for nectomunda games. Anyone got any good thoughts on what makes good mega city terrain? 
Starting slaine
Great to see so many folk taking on the slaine game. Today I painted up slaine ukko and the weirdstone lots of earthy colours for these minisr
